Avett Brothers add to Their Genius Collection

As you may know, the speedstump staff recently saw the Avett brothers preform live at the meadowbrook in Gilford NH. Despite still being numb from the experience it has recently come to my attention that the Avett Brothers will be releasing a new album in early 2012...hopefully. The article states late 2011 but unconfirmed sources (wikipedia) says early 2012. My fingers are crossed. To tide you over, here is one of their newest tracks.

Future Wife

Somehow it took me a month to find out that Florence Welch from Florence + the Machine had come out with a new song, but now that I've heard it I've become a bit obsessed, both with the song and the singer. She may not know it yet but we're going to end up together and have singing tall strawberry-blond children. Check out the video for her song What The Water Gave Me and then tell me she's not insanely cool, adorable, quirky, and beautiful. But maybe I'm just impartial cause she's a read-headed Brit... Regardlesss her music's sick and so is this song. Get prepared for her second album, Ceremonials, to drop at the end of this month. I'm expecting great things.
